CYCLOPEDIAS.

Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia is a whole library of universal knowledge from the pens of the ablest scholars in America and Europe. It is accepted as high authority in our leading colleges. It is not for the few, like Appletons' or the Britannica, but for all. It has just been thoroughly revised at a cost of over $60,000, and three years' labor by forty editors, and over 2.000 renowned contributors. It is in eight convenient sized volumes. No father can give to his child at school, or his son or daughter just entering the arena of life, anything that will be of more permanent benefit. It is an education supplementary to that of the schools. Address, for particulars and terms,
